Young Apprentice, BBC1, 8pm

Lord Sugar, Nick Hewer and Karren Brady have set the nine remaining budding business tycoons a deceptively sweet-sounding challenge: give the British afternoon tea a makeover. The teams must dream up a theme and sell their wares to passing punters at Blenheim Palace, which also pops up tonight in The Aristocrats. One lot opts for a spot of Mad Hatter action while their rivals lift their teenage pinkies for a frightfully nice 1940s tea party.Hatfields & McCoys, Channel 5, 9pm

It’s a surprise to find any members of the warring Hatfield and McCoy clans still standing in this shoot-em-up saga. Those who are left whip themselves up into beardy, gun-toting fury and, despite the best efforts of Judge Hatfield (Powers Boothe) to defuse the latest crisis, it’s all fingers on triggers as Anse Hatfield ( Kevin Costner ) and God-fearing Randall McCoy (Bill Paxton) head for a terminal bloodbath.

Hunted, BBC1, 9pm

Who the devil knows what’s really going on with this multi-crossing spy action caper? Whatever, one thing’s for sure – as hunted hunter Sam Hunter (Melissa George) gets into her final kick-ass spat of the series, the atmosphere will be as murky as ever. No matter how much – or little – it delivers in terms of denouements, you can’t help but feel you’re being led somewhere deep and meaningful.

Flintoff: From Lord’s To The Ring, Sky1, 9pm

Since he hung up his bat and box, England cricketing hero and former prince of the pedalo Freddie Flintoff has been bowling merrily along as a TV have-a-go hero and taking on back-to-nature challenges, while adding a sideline in jolly sporting quizzes. But Flintoff is raising the bar here as he aims to pack a knockout punch as Britain’s newest pro boxer. Veteran pro Barry McGuigan is in Flintoff’s corner as we follow all the blood, sweat and jabs going into getting him ready for his first bout at Manchester’s MEN Arena next Friday.The Aristocrats, C4, 9pm

Polish up those vowels for a peer at Britain’s bluest-blooded families, starting with James Spencer-Churchill, aka the Marquess of Blandford, a chap whose drug-addled youth made him headline fodder in the 1990s. Back in the day, dad John tried to lop James off the family tree, but now James has cleaned up his act and is due to take charge of Blenheim Palace.

Film choice: The Departed, Film4, 9pm

Some may argue this, the 2004 film that finally won director Martin Scorsese an Oscar, is not be his finest but it’s unarguably one of the best Hollywood remakes ever. Based on super-convoluted Hong Kong crime thriller Infernal Affairs, it stars Scorsese’s muse, Leonardo DiCaprio, as a young cop sent undercover into the Mob. Meanwhile, American-Irish Mafia pup Matt Damon is sent by big boss (a film-stealing Jack Nicholson) to infiltrate the Massachusetts State Police. Realised by an A-class ensemble, The Departed is a gripping study in betrayal that is shot with a thrilling energy, which is clearly the work of a master.
